Restoring Data from a Specific Copy of a Storage Policy

You can restore data from a specific storage policy copy (Synchronous Copy or Selective Copy). If data does not exist in the specified copy, the restore operation fails even if the data exists in another copy of the same storage policy.

IntelliSnap restores data from the snapshot copy, regardless of the precedence order defined in a storage policy. To perform a restore from a backup copy, you must manually select the copy precedence of the backup copy during the browse and restore operation.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, click Client Computers | File System.

2. Right-click the <Backup set> that contains the data you want to restore, point to All Tasks and then click Browse and Restore.

3. In the Browse and Restore Options dialog box, click View Content.

4. In the Client: client name window, select the data to be restored and click Recover all Selected.

5. In the Restore Options for All Selected Items dialog box, select the appropriate settings, and then click Advanced.

6. In the Advanced Restore Options dialog box, select the Copy Precedence tab, and select the appropriate settings:

   1. Select the Restore from copy precedence check box.

   2. In the Copy Precedence box, enter the copy precedence value.

   3. Click OK.

7. Click OK.
